Accessibility to public transport from the perspective of the aged people in developing countries: a case study in Hanoi, Vietnam

Abstract

Providing equal accessibility to social activities and transport to everyone is an important task of the transport authorities, especially in developing countries. However, the transport planners mainly focus on expanding the network coverage but lack attention on the accessibility to the service for the aged people. In this study, we have investigated the preferences of different accessibility indicators from the perspective of the aged people in developing countries using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique. The importance level obtained from the popular rating via the Likert scale will also be compared with the AHP results. The findings presented in this work contributed more insights on the preferences of the aged people on accessibility to public transport, subsequently, better inform transport planners to improve the bus services in these countries. The comparison between self-report surveys via rating and preferences would be a reference for the consideration of survey tools in similar studies.
